Unfortunately FreeAmp losts its sponsorship from EMusic, so development
has been sporadic as of late and the Vorbis support for FreeAmp is one
of the things that has suffered.

If you are on Linux, you can download the source code to 2.1 beta 5 and
if you have vorbis installed, it will properly build the vorbis plugin
and everything should be happy.

However, I need to make a few more tweaks on the windows side to get it
to work with Vorbis -- I'll see if I can get that done early next week.
I will also post a quick note on the freeamp.org site about vorbis
support tomorrow morning.

We're currently in the process of finding other sponsors who are
interested in hiring on the FreeAmp engineers that got let go a few
weeks back. Once we get completely settled, complete vorbis support is
one of the things on top of the to do list...
